Yes. I've done test lab sessions for Musician mags on this matter and
the Intel Macs are a much better deal than the G5 macs - if you make
sure you go for the dual core types. A dual G5 may be a little more
powerful (and a lot more expensive) but it won't run all new Intel
optimized software that is coming out. The only situation I think can
justify buying a G5 based Mac today is if you really have to work
right away with software that has still not been upgraded to support
Intel Macs.

Usually apple boxes sound better with the built-in audio card. But
you get a lot better sound, and recordings, with an audio interface
that is designed for musicians.
